The 2017 Amphibious Design Student Workshop, to be held at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, Cambridge, Ontario, Canada will precede the International Conference on Amphibious Architecture Design and Engineering. The case study will focus on Caledonia, Ontario where increased flood vulnerability in First Nations communities will provide opportunities to explore amphibious concepts.

Site-specific challenges such as cultural heritage, environmental concerns, rapid urbanization, and economic prosperity will be explored to propose solutions in line with contemporary water management and design practices. The workshop invites students and young professionals to understand the theories and practices that bring together engineering, design and urban development.
